Interior Design Studio

Sophisticated Interior Design & Styling

"I passionately believe in creating ‘homes’ – beautiful and stylish spaces that encompass your history and stories, your likes and inspirations; homes that are inviting, original, functional and beautiful."

KATY HUSBAND

Designing a home is a personal venture – a home provides the canvas on which we can illustrate who we are. Feather & Oak Interiors is a full-service interior design firm that designs homes from concept to completion, from new builds to renovations, that stand the test of time. Based in Northern Canterbury, our team has collaborated on projects nationwide creating spaces that bring form, function and beauty to the everyday.


We believe that good design tells a story, and we can’t wait to learn more about you. Every project is unique and we are confident that together we can bring your vision to life.

Home should be a place that restores you from today and

readies you for tomorrow - a home should

look after the people you love.

01. Discover

Join us for a complimentary discovery call where we will discuss how we can help you reimagine your build or renovation and create a home that looks after the people you love!  We offer a fully customised and comprehensive approach to design and can help you with one room or an entire home.

Once the call ends there’s no obligation to go further but by the end of our chat you’ll have a good feel for how we work, and we will get a good idea about what you need help with.

02. Define

Once we have completed the discovery stage, we would love to join you on-site or in-store for a design consultation.  This is where we come to your home or meet in the studio and spend up to 60 minutes with you exploring your project and learning more about your aspirations.  During our consultation we'll review your project and plans and understand your objectives, interior goals and define your style aspirations.

After our initial consultation we will create a design concept presentation full of inspired ideas that reflects your taste and aesthetic and your home's potential. 

Finally, we will meet together in our studio to present our recommendations and ideas.

DESIGN CONSULT FEE: $495

03. Design

Ready to go to the next stage with your project with us?  Our design process includes: 


Phase One: Planning

The planning phase is the stage where we deep dive into discovering and bringing together all your inspiration and ideas.  We explore your needs and wishes, daily work flows and entertainment aspirations.  This phase is where all the ideas start to come together to create a framework for the design and the goalposts that we will work towards with the final design in mind.


Phase Two:  Design Development

During the design development phase we will fine-tune your floor plan to determine your new home's flow and functionality and present you with curated palettes and design sketches so that you can visualise how your room will feel when it's complete. 


Phase Three:  Schedules and Specifications

During the Schedules and Specifications Phase you will be provided with schedules and design specification packages to fully communicate your curated design to the builder and trades for tendering. Your final package includes the necessary floorplans, kitchen and joinery plans and lighting layouts required to price and build your home.


Phase Four:  Construction

During the construction phase of your build we can assist with project management and installation oversight for interior materials.  We can assist with the level of execution and finish required for materials and fitout that relate to our interior selections.   


Phase Five:  Decorating and Sourcing

The Decorating and Sourcing Phase is where we manage the decorating for your home to ensure a highly executed and personal finish to your interior from the furnishings to the furniture and everything in between.   


Phase Six:  Setup and Installation

When the time comes we coordinate the delivery and set-up of your new home.  From furniture placement, the installation of window furnishings and artwork through to the styling of decor and finishing touches.  We love the moment you enter your home and see the vision become a reality in a house that perfectly reflects your style.  Welcome to your new home!


We provide an estimate at the beginning of the project and our fees are charged at an hourly rate, a full project cost or a combination of both throughout the project.

PROJECT RATE AND/OR HOURLY RATE: $165 P/HR

Services

INTERIOR DESIGN

We are a full service Interior Design practice and can be involved from concept to completion. We love to work alongside developers, architects, builders and trades and can review floor, electrical, kitchen, bathroom, lighting and joinery plans to enhance the connection and use of interior spaces. We can design, specify, procure, project manage, deliver and install. Bringing a clients vision to life and creating spaces to experience all of life's moments is our mission.


STYLING

We can select all of the furniture, décor and soft furnishings needed in your home, incorporating any heirloom or sentimental pieces, to create a space that is as functional as it is beautiful.

Selling or buying?  We can maximise your home's potential, styling your existing furniture and decor to be 'Open Day Ready' as well as help you set up your spaces in your newly purchased home. 

Need a cherry on top?  We can help you organise your kitchen and wardrobe so you can thrive and have a home you may never want to leave!


HOME FURNISHINGS

From curtains, blinds, wallpaper, cushions and upholstery - we have the ability to source and manufacture your whole project in-house with our talented home furnishing team.  We can provide competitive curtain and blind packages as well as luxury soft furnishings.  We pride ourselves on working with local workrooms and managing the window furnishings process from quote to installation.


CUSTOM DESIGN

We have a wealth of contacts in the industry and are privileged to collaborate with a wonderful range of highly skilled manufacturers and artisans to create custom furniture and fitout.  We take pride in our custom design work and enjoy commissioning bespoke pieces to meet our clients needs.


EXTERIOR & INTERIOR SPECS

We can provide exterior and interior consultations, specifying materials and colours and providing a schedule for ordering. We will work with your preferred suppliers and ordering team to meet production timeframes.


SUSTAINABILITY

As the window furnishings industry develops sustainability practises into their production processes and recycled fabrics become mainstream, there are options to select recycled yarn fabrics and linings as well as environmentally friendly wallpaper products.

Talk to us if you would like to utilise environmentally friendly and sustainable choices - we would love to be part of your eco-journey.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    We know there can be a lot of questions and concerns when starting a new project, so we've answered some commonly asked questions below. If you are still feeling unsure, please do not hesitate to reach out to us so we can assist you on your journey!

    • HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO USE AN INTERIOR DESIGNER?

      Our fees are dependent on the size and scope of each project.  After our initial design consultation, we either charge per hour that we work, or for larger projects we establish a full project cost . 

      We communicate with you every step of the way to find the best solution for your needs and can often provide designer discounts with our extensive partnerships in the industry.

    • DO I NEED INTERIOR STYLING OR INTERIOR DESIGN?

      Interior styling is for those spaces that need a little extra TLC!  We source, specify and style curated feature pieces (eg. furniture, curtains, artwork) and add splashes of your uniqueness throughout to complete your rooms.


      Interior design is for those projects that need a head-to-toe makeover or are a fresh new beginning! We’re involved from concept to completion to bring your vision to life.

    • WHEN SHOULD I GET AN INTERIOR DESIGNER?

      You can use our expertise at any point though we generally say the sooner the better! We love jumping onboard with our clients from the very beginning, to help spatially plan their home, liaising with the contracting team, right through to the finishing touches like sourcing furnishings and styling. 

    • WILL YOU WORK WITH MY CONTRACTOR & SUBCONTRACTORS?

      We are happy to work with your contractors and subcontractors. We will do our part to provide detailed information and communicate with them at every stage of the process.


      Because we have your best interests at heart, we can also assist you with onboarding contractors if you don't already have ones you trust! This means that we will refer some of the contractors that we have vetted and have long standing business relationships with, or help you identify and interview new contractors. 


      Our goal is to make the process of working with a contractor easy and stress-free.

    • WHAT KIND OF PROJECTS DO WE WORK ON?

      From large scale new builds and renovation projects where we become just one key part of your amazing contracting team; assisting with everything from layout, kitchen, bathroom, cabinetry design, all finishes, fittings and furnishings, through to helping rejuvenate a few key areas in your home that may be needing a little extra love. More often than not, the scale of our projects falls somewhere in between and we love to be there for it all!
